What Is Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontic treatment is a dental specialty focusing on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. It not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also benefits your oral health. Treatments involve devices like braces and aligners to correct alignment issues. Early intervention in children can prevent more severe problems in adulthood, making it a crucial part of pediatric dental care.

Types Of Orthodontic Issues In Kids

Here are the common orthodontic issues in kids that require attention and early treatment for optimal oral health.

Overbite:

Upper front teeth overlap lower front teeth excessively, causing biting and chewing problems and increasing the risk of injury.

Underbite:

Lower front teeth protrude further than the upper front teeth, leading to speech, chewing, and jaw function issues.

Crossbite:

Upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth, causing uneven wear and jaw problems.

Open bite:

Gap between upper and lower front teeth when back teeth bite together, making it difficult to bite or chew properly.

Crowding:

Insufficient space for all permanent teeth to erupt properly, leading to crooked or misaligned teeth.

Spacing:

Gaps between teeth due to small teeth, a large jaw, or missing teeth.
